What’s eaten on this day:
Legend:
There was a poor Brahmin. His wife was full of faith and devotion displaying losts of spirituality . she had unswerving faith in the gods and goddesses. She had become a mother and loved her infant child more than her own life. She used to observe the Vrat of Nori- Nem with full devotion.
One day her infant child was sleeping in the cot. She went to the village well to fetch water for her house. Her husband had gone to the temple. Thus her infant was left alone in the house. Just then a black snake slowly descended from the roof of the house and climbed upon the cot. The infant in the cot was awake with an innocent smile on the face. The snake kept staring at the infant and then raised its hood in preparation for striking the infant.
Within a fraction of a second, before the fangs of the snake can deliver its deadly poison to the infant’s feet, a mongoose caught hold of the snake and removed it from the cot.
Just then the infant’s mother returned to the house. She saw the mongoose and the snake and immediately realized what had happened. Her vrat of Nori-Nem was rewarded. Devata had come as a mongoose to save the life of her child.
